Mark Leong | The New Paper | Mon Apr 2 2012
SINGAPORE - Mr minister, what do you have to say about the MRT breakdown?
The reply: "Paiseh, very paiseh...when MRT breaks down, really can die."
In case you're wondering, it wasn't a minister who said that.
It was "Dr Jiajia" who has starred, with "Big Brother", in a series of videos which have garnered 1.5 million YouTube hits.
Dr Jiajia is six-year-old Chua Jin Sen. And he's a "doctor" of Singlish.
Big Brother is his brother, Jin Chou, 12.
In the videos, the brothers speak Singlish in a variety of situations.
Their YouTube channel was the most popular Singaporean comedy channel for March.
It's so popular, even Taiwanese channel TVBS has featured them.
The series, simply titled Singlish, is now "airing" its 20th episode.
The New Paper met the boys and their family at their Aljunied HDB flat. They have two sisters aged one and three.
The boys were energetic, darting around the flat during the interview.
The girls sat quietly, watching in amusement as the boys struck pose after pose.
But their father, who writes the scripts, edits the videos and posts them online wanted to remain in the shadows, asking to be known only as Mr Chua.
He came up with the first video two years ago as part of Jin Chou's school project.
Mr Chua said: "The first video was meant to discourage the use of Singlish. Principals from various schools have used the video to show the importance of speaking good English."
He spends up to five hours editing each video before uploading them. Every video is created with music, subtitles and pop-up graphics.
A new video is uploaded every two weeks.
The videos have proven so popular, there is even a demand for subtitles.
"Adding the subtitles is hard work, so there was a period when I removed them, but some people who were deaf requested for them to be added," said Mr Chua.
Mr Chua, who works in the technology sector, writes new scripts whenever he has new ideas. He occasionally has used ideas from his viewers.
The videos' popularity surprised him.
The most popular video, Singlish Minister, has garnered about 240,000 views.
"At first, it was just to amuse ourselves, but some viewers started sending messages on how the videos were funny and helped them relax," Mr Chua said.
Even Member of Parliament (Marine Parade GRC) Tin Pei Ling, contacted them via Facebook.
She told The New Paper their videos were "creative".
One of their videos, Deliciously Dyslexic, has been used by the Dyslexia Association of Singapore (DAS).
Explain dyslexia
In the video, Jin Chou and Jin Sen, who is dyslexic and takes lessons at DAS, explained dyslexia to their audience.
"The video displays everything a dyslexic student would face and does so in a humorous and easily understandable manner," said Ms Fanny Foo, a Learning Centre Manager at DAS.
Jin Sen is studying at Maha Bodhi School and Jin Chou at Maris Stella High School.
Mr Chua has been asked to get the boys to promote products in their videos. He declined these offers saying he's not out for profit.
"We started out making these videos for fun and some temporary fame is not going to change our motivation," he said.
But some viewers have a bone to pick with Mr Chua. Specifically, the use of Singlish in the videos.
They argue that it will cause other young children to use Singlish.
Mr Chua said: "We speak English at home most of the time, and the boys know when they can use Singlish and when they have to stick to proper English.
"I grew up in a Singlish environment."
Mr Chua also has supporters.
Ms Jacky Kwong, 46, has two children, aged 12 and 16, and like them, she is a fan of the videos.
She said: "There's nothing wrong as it's clearly in the spirit of good humour. The responsibility of educating children about Singlish lies with parents and schools anyway.
"It's unfair to blame the videos."
